Agenda for the week
The winter weather has arrived. Please label all of your child’s winter clothing. If your child wears boots to school, please send in a pair of dry shoes to wear in the classroom. Please help your child to learn to zip, unzip, put on hats, mittens, coats, boots and snow pants by themselves. Parents will not be allowed in the building to help their child. Remember, we are trying to teach independence.

Please make sure to empty the green folders each night! It is very difficult and time consuming to locate homework or important notes when the folder is full of papers from the day before. Remember to initial the communication log and feel free to add any notes to me!
